Grossly over rated. Typical Lefty view of history and so predictable. Not to deny what happened, it had been well documented. However, the turn of events was so so predictable with nothing more to add than what we have seen time and tine again. This was more to appeal to the emotions in that previously dispossessed working class worker is sent to the colonies only to turn out dispossessing the locals. I was was always waiting for the punch line, but it never arrived. The real villains never came to justice. What happened to them? Disappointing given all the hype. The Brits, typically are made out to be the bad guys, typical stereotypes But nothing really new or compelling to make one want yo watch again. As usual, no surprise that viewers are switching off Australian ABC produced drama.
